In the next set of cubes (Appendix A set 2), I removed all of the candies from the first person and one from the second person and gave them all to person 9, giving a total of nine candies to one, zero to person one, three to person two, and four to persons three through eight. The mean and the median stayed the same. For the median, half of the data was above and below four. The median did not change because the mode is four candies and several people still have four candies; the median did not change. Using the same virtual manipulative website, I used the balance point interpretation to determine solutions provided that the mean and median were four. Person two and person three had two candies, persons four and five had four candies. Persons six, seven, and eight had five candies. Person nine had nine candies. The mean, median, maximum, and minimum remained 4 the same. The box plot (Appendix B Box Plot ) lines changed to reveal higher data values in the upper fourth of the data. In the next set of data (Appendix A set 4), one person did not have any candy, three persons had two candies, one person had four candies, one person had five candies, two persons had six candies, and one person had nine candies. The median remains the same. The mode has changed from five to two.
